Squint a bit and ignore the over-the-top grille, and this concept looks more likely than most to get the green light in the next few years, with its aesthetics fitting well with the Mondeo and the S-MAX.

The Verve concept is shown here wit a deep magenta paintjob, has 18in rims, panoramic glass roof and B-pillarless structure. It also has Ford's Convers+ system, which allows quick and easy access to all driver-operated functions.
